Started to paint my Brakiri.........

[super squirel]

.......... at last.

Had them for quite a while now but with the release of 2nd ed, I decided to celebrate by actually painting some ships.

So, today I have painted 2 Avioki Heavy Cruisers and a couple of bases of fighters just to test the colour scheme.

I wanted to do a non stock colour scheme, but didn't want to stray away from the green. So I decided on a scheme of green that fades into dark green then pretty much black.

I'm actually happy with the end result, so have now moved on to a Tashkat, which has the main blending done so far.

Any who, heres a couple pics, I hpe you like them.

Good Work

 

[Lord David the Denied]

Very nice work.

 

[darknight]

well nice

 

[super squirel]

Cheers guys.

I'm in half a mind as to whether I should pick out the 'G' on them. I'm not sure at the moment, may just leave as is.

 

[Court Jester]

They look cool. Did you use an airbrush to ge that transition from light to dark?

I think you should pick out the "G".

 

[super squirel]

no, wet blending with a brush. First time I have tried it really.

Well it worked very well, very well in fact. Top stuff indeed.

 

[MustEatBrains]

As Court jester said, maybe you should pick out the "G" and the stripes on the bottom fin a little bit - apart from that, that blending really looks good!

 

[super squirel]

hmmmm, never noticed there were stripes on the bottom fin. :lol:

I'll pick them out and see how it looks. Just prey it looks good as don;t fancy trying to blend it back in when the base is dry. :lol:

Thanks for your kind comments.

Damn fine paint job. The stripes will really make the mini's pop.

Curses! The brakiri have been calling to me as my next fleet for a long time, but I have resisted. I think you may have just pitched me over the edge. My demo credit hates you.

[Blu_Majik]

those are great, lovely effect on the main ships and nicely done too.
cap doffed!

Very nice painting, but aren't those bases just a wee bit small? I foresee lots of toppled Aviokis with guns broken off...

Possibly, but their the one's they come with. I am thing about mounting them on to larger ones as they do topple over every now and again.

Stick a 2p to the bottom

 

[darknight]

yep, 2p works fine, sort of 2p or not 2p :lol:
